GO Abby! First goose egg of the season!

Just had to post, as this is my only real record of when things happen. Saw Abby in the A-frame hut for the first time yesterday. Today, I discovered her first egg! Now, if I can just witness Beefy getting his business underway, and the weather warms up so eggs don't freeze, I'll let her start building a clutch. Gotta remember to email the gal I got her from and share the good news. Apparently Abby hatched a batch last year, so we'll see how it goes. If nothing is fertile this year, we may need to add another gander to the flock... and what that means for Beefy? I dunno. Anyhoo, goose eggs leave me feeling that spring weather and longer days aren't far off. :)

About Me

30-something gal who grew up in N California raising Percherons, and was a parkie for 4 seasons during college. After several years of being stuck in town, my lumberjack man (LJ for short) and I finally escaped to the country. No more listening to car horns and squealing tires! While I attempt to use proper grammar and punctuation, I tend to write like I talk. Lots of sentence fragments, run-on sentences. Bear with me as I try to keep a record of activity/progress on our property and with our critters (which at any time might include dogs, cat, ducks, geese, chickens, meat chickens, pigs, goats, turkeys, guineas, bees, etc)
